There are so many places to add florals at your wedding ceremony and reception and it’s easy to overlook a spot when you’ve never planned a wedding before. When I meet with couples to discuss their wedding flowers I always ask them about every little spot where we commonly place flowers to ensure we are executing their vision as perfectly as possible.
You may be doing your own flowers (you are brave, my friend!), or you may have a friend or family member doing florals for you. Whatever the case may be I hope this checklist will help you think about some places that need florals that you may have not even thought about.
